No Indoor Stadium, Please

BURR RIDGE — The Bears should have an outdoor stadium! I saw a game at the Hoosier Dome. It's terrible--too antiseptic. Football is a rough-and-tumble outdoor sport.

Here are a couple of suggestions:

1. According to Joe Robbie, a stadium with only one team is financially very difficult. But if there are two teams, it is a gold mine. Therefore, get the NFL to pledge to bring in an AFC team to Chicago (the Bengals?).

2. If No. 1 is not possible, go after college teams, soccer and summer entertainment events.
